Daily Times reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State are currently in a bitter battle over the state-owned transportation corporation, Kwara Express.
The PDP is accusing the APC of planing to destroy the transport company so the land it occupies could be used for private purposes.
However, the APC has issued a statement countering the PDP's accusations. The APC in a statement issued by its spokesperson Sulayman Buhari, said, "We reject the PDP’s claims as desperate, callous and an insensitive attempt to incite the public against the APC-led government through disinformation and misrepresentation.
"Coming at a time Kwara Express has returned to profitability, the PDP’s claims are mischievous, anti-progress, and calculated to impede the government’s turnaround of the company. There is no truth to the claim that government is trying to incapacitate Kwara Express by selling off its property. Only a misguided party as the PDP will expect government to incapacitate a successful company.
"It is equally untrue that Harmony Holdings, Kwara Express’ supervisory company, is owned by any individual. It is typical of the PDP’s intellectual laziness to make such outlandish and false claims when a search at the Corporate Affairs Commission will have revealed that the government owns the company.
"We warn the PDP to abstain from this campaign of calumny and focus on how to stem its dwindling fortunes.
